Rangers have taken Matt Polster and Andrew Gutman on trial, Steven Gerrard has provided an injury update on Graham Dorrans and Jamie Murphy, and fans have been warned about a Twitter scam directly targetting Rangers supporters.

Rangers took advantage of Celtic beating Aberdeen in the Betfred Cup final earlier this month to hoist themselves into first place in the Premiership by dint of a 2-1 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was in no mood to celebrate his team’s return to the top of the Scottish Premiership as he bemoaned their lack of a ‘killer instinct’ in the 1-0 win over Hamilton Accies at Ibrox.

The deal that Rangers struck to sign Carlos Pena in the summer of 2017 clearly sets Steven Gerrard’s teeth on edge. A £2.2 million fee was paid to Mexican side Guadalajara for the midfielder, given a three-year deal on a reputed £26,000-a-week terms. Effectively, then manager Pedro Caixinha was allowed to make a £5.5m investment on a player who has given little in return. And £5.5m is precisely the figure that Gerrard gives for the money he spent on transfer fees in the summer to entirely reconstruct a squad that he undoubtedly has made much sturdier.
